Default Question on downpipe, immah noob i know!

Hey i got a question.. supposivly the IHI RHB5 will be stock actuated at 8 psi.. what if i run a 2 1/4 inch downpipe (kinda smaller) how much will that lower boost? also then technically i can up the boost correct? or will i have too much of a boost spike if i go with a smaller DP? help will be much appreciated

a smaller exhaust will not cause you to have less boost, it'll just have slow as ---- spool time. Regulate boost with the wastegate or boost controller and make your downpipe as big as possible
